Just a minor End-of-the-week update. I adjusted the banner image today. I was growing a little worried that despite my explanation for the name of the blog that it would be taken the wrong way. I thought that visitors to the blog might think that the “Dirty Hands” and “Clean Hearts” were in reference to Indians rather than to myself and others who want to help. I realized it could be perceived a kind of “noble savage” comment which is absolutely not what I intended. No one has made comments to me to that effect, but I’m trying to be as sensitive as possible to the possibility that my naivete can be problematic and counter-productive to my goals. Am I being overly PC? Maybe. But I’d prefer to err on the side of being culturally sensitive.

So, I lopped off the ‘s’ at the end of  “Hearts” in the hopes that it makes  a bit more clear I’m referring to myself. For a full explanation of the name of the blog you can visit the  “About” page.

I’m apologize if the name came across in a negative way.
